Nah, I'm gonna get an answer out of you yet son. You go first.
If you truly seek this knowledge it may be found in many many books. One book which does a pretty good job of it is Lee Strobel's Case of Christ. Not sure of his allegiances but the book is pretty well put together.
That the bible is the word of God? I didn't know the Catholics were at war with the scriptures I knew they didn't follow it very close but this is new. I'll have to research this topic more.
What is your "bible"? Is it like the Mormons with Doctrines and Covenants, The pearl of great price, and the book of Mormon?
You see all discussions are moot from here on out if you don't recognize the bible as the word of God. Because there is no basis for truth. We have to start with establishing God is all powerful and He is able to preserve His word. If you don't believe that you have free reign to make up whatever you want and say, "this here is truth." Kind of like the DEI society we live in today. "Gender is a social construct."
350 AD Codex Vaticanus is oldest New Testament having the 27 books of the NT that were general accepted by the Catholic Church's of the Roman Empire.
Series of councils at Rome, Carthage, and Hippo convened by Pope Damasus and Catholic Bishops finalize the list in 382, 393 and 397 AD after vetting and weeding out false books like the Acts of Paul, gnostic gospel of Thomas etc.
The Bible is a Catholic book, it is our gift the world. You're welcome.

You avoid the answer because you already know what it is. And it completely contradicts the protestant narrative.
